Printing Instructions

IMPORTANT: When forming the Storm Striker, make sure to support all the pieces as best as you can. Depending on how you print them, as well as your finishing process, there will be a bit of weight on the connection points. It's 3D printed at the end of the day so be mindful of that.

Printing should be pretty straight forward. You shouldn't need any supports inside of the sonic_fin_cone to support the lines. All of the lines should print fine without them, so make sure your slicer doesn't try to insert any or they may be difficult to get out. Just make sure there are supports on the bottom piece that juts out and you should be good. For joining everything together I used pins that can be scaled if your printer tolerances are tighter than mine. Just add/remove 0.1 mm at a time to change up the fit.

All of the pommels are essentially the same, it's just about preference when gluing up or painting. For the sonic_fin_top the orientation will determine how things line up. I recommend printing it with the opening length wise across the bed. Just make sure to disable supports inside the hole for a support rod. Also, when putting the trigger in, do so at a slight angle. Once it hits the back wall push it flat and then slid it down a little to close that bottom edge gap.

You'll notice that the inside_cone is printed separately and that it has an inside_cone_connector. You can glue those pieces together, but don't glue either of those to the sonic_fin_cone. That needs to be removable to allow for the Lion Hammer to connect to it once that model is completed. A little bit of painters tape can add friction between the two parts to keep them together.

Length (mouthpiece to cone opening): ~10 inches (~254 mm)

Height (top of cone to bottom of pommel): ~11 inches (~287 mm)

The full model is also included for scaling, or slicing up yourself, as well.
